Simple to install with time-honored reliable
performance, Signet 2536 Rotor-X Paddlewheel Flow Chemically resistant materials
Sensors are highly repeatable, rugged sensors that
offer exceptional value with little or no maintenance.
The Model 2536 has a process-ready open collector
signal with a wide dynamic ow range of 0.1 to 6 m/s
(0.3 to 20 ft/s). The sensor measures liquid ow rates in
full pipes and can be used in low pressure systems.

The Signet 2536 sensors are offered in a variety of

materials for a wide range of pipe sizes and insertion (3-2536-PX
congurations. The many material choices including version only)
PP and PVDF make this model highly versatile and
chemically compatible to many liquid process solutions.
Applications
